Arizona SB 1070, civil rights, and language rights
Rainof, Alexander
Arizona SB 1070, civil rights, and language rights - 2011 - San Francisco, CA International Federation of TranslatorsAmerican Translators Association - p. 25-34408 p. - Proceedings of the XIX World Congress of the International Federation of Translators .
Arizona Senate Bill 1070 was recently signed into law by Governor Brewer. What are the potential consequences in the area of translation and interpretation and civil rights of this new law? The Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title VI, does not address directly the right to a translator and interpreter, nor does Executive Order 13166, a reiteration of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, signed in 2000 by President Clinton. Yet, these are fundamental documents which stablish, based on the notion of equal access, that language rights are civil rights. The law has also implications in terms of the Supremacy Clause of the U.S . Constitution and the First, Fourth, and Fourteenth Amendments. The crucial role of the translator and interpreter in this context will be addressed.
